Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an optical fiber having a large effective cross-sectional area (A eff ), in which the concentration of a rare earth element is easily controlled and generation of a nonlinear optical effect is effectively suppressed in a fiber amplifier or a fiber laser, and to provide a method for producing an optical fiber preform suitable for the production of the optical fiber. SOLUTION: The method for producing an optical fiber preform in which a rare earth element is added into the core comprises: a step of depositing fine glass particles which are mainly composed of silicon dioxide within a quartz tube by a MCVD method; a step of adding the rare earth element and aluminum into the fine glass particles within the quartz tube by an immersion method; a step of heating the quartz tube while allowing a phosphorus-containing gas to flow into the quartz tube, so as to sinter the fine glass particles within the quartz tube while adding phosphorus thereinto; and a step of heating and collapsing the quartz tube, into which the rare earth element, the aluminum and the phosphorus have been added.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a producing method and the like of a preform where the preform to produce a low-loss optical fiber added with a rare earth element and a P element can be produced efficiently. SOLUTION: The producing method of the preform comprises a first step to deposit glass containing P 2 O 5 on the inside wall of a quartz pipe and a second step to introduce a gas containing Cl 2 in the quartz pipe and to dehydrate the glass containing P 2 O 5 by heating the quartz pipe. The preform added with the rare earth element at a core part is produced by performing the first step and the second step alternately and repeatedly. In the producing method of the preform comprising further a third step to deposit glass not containing P 2 O 5 on the inside wall of the quartz pipe, it is favorable that the first step, the second step and the third step are performed repeatedly in this order and that glass containing the rare earth element and not containing P 2 O 5 is deposited on the inside wall of the quartz pipe in the third step.
